Battery company.
Sustainable future.

A battery company sits at the centre of Nepal's energy transition — enabling solar homes in rural hills and electric fleets in city centres. That responsibility doesn't end at the sale.

01Our Impact

What 31 years of
manufacturing adds up to.

Every Kulayan battery sold reduces diesel dependence, enables cleaner transport, and powers homes through solar energy. These numbers represent the cumulative impact of 31 years of manufacturing.

0+ Batteries powering Nepali homes & businesses annually
0+ Authorised dealers extending our service reach nationwide
0+ Years of continuous manufacturing with reducing waste intensity
7 Provinces served — enabling clean energy access across Nepal
02Our Commitments

Four pillars of
responsible business.

01
Battery Waste Management
Lead-acid batteries contain lead and acid — both environmental hazards if improperly discarded. Kulayan's take-back programme ensures used batteries are collected and processed responsibly, rather than left to dealers or consumers to dispose of.
  • Battery take-back & collection programme for consumers
  • Dealer network as authorised collection points for used batteries
  • Tie-up with licensed recyclers for responsible lead processing
  • Consumer awareness: dangers of informal landfill disposal
  • Annual recycling volume tracking and public reporting
  • Target: formalise take-back at all 50+ dealer points by 2026
02
Emission Reduction
Batteries enable electric vehicles, solar storage, and backup power — all of which directly cut carbon and fuel emissions. Every Kulayan battery sold is a step away from diesel and petrol dependence.
  • E-rickshaw and Safa Tempo batteries replacing fossil-fuel vehicles
  • Solar battery storage reducing diesel generator dependence
  • Fuel savings for customers switching to solar + battery systems
  • Kulayan's own manufacturing emission footprint reduction target
  • Nepal context: supporting the shift away from diesel load-shedding backup
  • Long-term: 48V lithium-ion for next-gen EV fleets (2026 launch)
03
Renewable Energy Enablement
Solar energy without battery storage is incomplete. Kulayan batteries are the backbone of Nepal's solar homes, rural micro-grids, and off-grid electrification projects across hilly and mountain regions.
  • Solar home systems powered by Kulayan deep-cycle batteries
  • Rural electrification support in hilly Nepal regions via solar + storage
  • Off-grid community solar + storage case studies
  • Partnerships with solar panel suppliers and installers
  • Hydropower + battery storage synergy for Nepal's power grid
  • Serving agricultural irrigation and cold-storage facilities off-grid
04
Responsible Manufacturing
How Kulayan makes batteries matters as much as what we make. At Khanar, that means zero lead discharge, health and safety standards for workers handling lead, and ISO 14001 environmental management — not just as certifications but as operating practice.
  • Zero lead discharge commitment & environmental compliance
  • Worker safety and health standards for lead exposure protection
  • 100% unit testing — no defective battery leaves Khanar
  • Local sourcing to reduce inbound transport emissions
  • ISO 14001 environmental management certification (certified)
  • Exploring solar energy for factory operations (roadmap)
03Take-Back Programme

Return your
old battery.

Used batteries contain lead and acid — toxic to soil and water if improperly discarded. Kulayan's take-back programme makes responsible disposal easy: return your old battery at any authorised Kulayan dealer and we handle the rest.

Our dealer network is being equipped to accept used batteries from any brand — not just Kulayan. Because the problem is Nepal's, and so is the solution.

042026 Commitments

Our public
commitments.

These are not aspirations. These are measurable commitments Kulayan is working toward — and will report on publicly.

✓

Take-back at all 50+ dealer points

Formalise battery collection and responsible disposal at every authorised Kulayan dealer by end of 2026.

✓

48V lithium-ion launch for EV fleets

Commercial launch of domestically R&D'd lithium-ion packs for Safa Tempos and e-rickshaws — enabling cleaner, longer-range urban transport.

✓

Zero lead discharge at Khanar

Full compliance with lead discharge standards at the Khanar manufacturing facility — zero untreated waste into local water systems.

✓

Annual sustainability reporting

Publish a public sustainability report annually covering batteries recycled, CO₂ impact, and progress against these four commitments.
